This is something I've wondered about for square piano bridges when 
they break in the treble bend. It would be easy to clamp the parts 
into the right position and route a slot down the center which could 
then be filled with epoxy and carbon fibre. Seems like it would solve 
the problem of grain weakness in a sawed out bridge with really sharp 
curves. Has anyone tried a repair like this?
